This law is also known as the law of independent assortment 3. This law is based on monohybrid cross experiment 3. This law is based on dihybrid cross experiment 4. The ratio of the offspring produced will be 4.
The ratios of the offspring produced will be After he conducted experiments on pea plant with the help of monohybrid and dihybrid cross, on basis of these crosses Mendel came to 3 laws which are as follows:.
This is the first law of inheritance. This law was derived from the monohybrid cross experiment. Here where the character from two pairs of contrasting characters, which is able to express in the F 1 generation is called the dominant and the one which is not able to express itself and is being suppressed is called recessive. Due to this dominance there is uniform expression in the F 1 generation. There are factors which control the pairs. When different factor controls each character then only one character is able to express in the F 1 generation which is called the dominant one and the other one which is not able to express itself is called the recessive.
Some examples of law of dominance - In guinea pigs the the black colour coat is dominant over the white one and similarly in humans, curly hair is dominant over straight hair or brown eyes are dominant over green eyes. This law is not universally applicable because sometimes the dominance is not complete or is totally absent in some cases. This is the second law of inheritance. Each allele comes from each parent. During the formation of gametes, the allele pair separates from each other in such a way that each gamete receives one allele from the pair.
Therefore, the offspring acquires one copy from each parent. During the fusion of gametes, it acquires two alleles from each parental gamete. Here, alleles can be either homozygous or heterozygous. One allele in the heterozygous pair is dominant while the other is recessive. The expression of the dominant allele to produce the phenotype is called complete dominance.
